    Was prescribed oxy and valium but surprisingly they are doing virtually nothing. I'll give them another day and call doc again i think.

    I got prescribed both also today for sciatica. Hoping for some relief from the discomfort. All my own fault. Went to a walk on Sunday and went too far, too soon.
    This Sunday I will stay home and eat crisps. Far more sensible option.

    Fingers crossed they work for you.

    Are you guys/gals up yet? The weather is beautiful, clear blue skies and a cold 3 degrees?

    Truck got trailered away to the shop yesterday, waiting on the prognosis. Still haven’t found anything that I desire to buy. Wife won’t let me get a Raptor :)

    Go see a chiropractor, considering the amount of time that people in my profession spend sitting on their arses, back problems are a common issue. We used to have a list of the best chiropractors available throughout our route structure, it was therefore common to find someone flying to Manila to see Dr Jameson Snr. This guy saved a lot of careers.

    Not that I expect you to head to the Philippines, but you should be able to find someone in Galway.

    The way I see it, a GP can only manage pain, a Physio can only manage muscles, a ChiroprActor can deal with the root cause.

    You must have a Chinese medicine shop in a mall near you, try there and see how good they are at massage, look for a really old person :)

    I suffered from sciatica for years, for so bad it was keeping me awake, but I didn't know what it was, had xrays & mri done on hips & back.
    Eventually, saw a guy in Finland, think he was a bit chiropractor and a bit osteopath? (The language barrier didn't help:) )

    But, he manipulated my back around, clicked few things etc & it was immediate relief! I saw him everytime I was in Finland. God it was great.
    Have to find someone similar here.........

    Deskside

    You may remember that I had an echo scan of my heart done before Christmas. Had an appointment with my consultant today about my follow up results. Was told I haven't got any worse and would be seen every 2 years, have wasted €170 to be told that though :(

    I'm remembering Wednesday evenings around this time in better times. I could be on the road working and having dinner in a Hotel listening to a post workday briefing or working from home. When working from home, I'd be sitting with a couple of friends in the pub. Early few scoops and a chat. I always called it Wednesday night beers. It broke the week up. For my short spell in London, it was similar only over an Indian meal with beers.:eek:

    In the first lockdown back in Ireland we tried Wednesday night Zoom chats with the beers, but that sadly faded away. Twas a real pity. Things didn't improve and I've been having my Wednesday night beers alone lately. But tradition is tradition,:D Terrible times we are stuck in for now, but bottoms up!
